Custom Dyeing

Graham Langhorne • 12 June 2020

For those who want an extra special skein of yarn why not design your own colourway. 

In collaboration with theonlinewoolshow.com we offer 'a design your own colourway' option

choosing from a selection luxury yarn blends in lace weight, 4ply and double knit, you are able to choose upto 3 colours and the order that you would like them dyed.

we use Gaywool Dyes and have nearly 60 different shades for you choose from

the process takes about a week from order to despatch s we need to allow for drying time. Any number of skeins can be ordered in the same colourway, but please remember that these are all individually hand dyed to order and so every one will be slightly different

there is no extra charge for this special yarn and prices start at only £15 per 100g skein
Here are what one of our customers have said about our custom dyeing
--------------------------------------------
Just to let you know that my skein of yarn arrived safely yesterday - and I am absolutely delighted with it. You have done such an amazing job on it - and I think the colours blend beautifully. I am not very good at picking colours but am so pleased with the way it has turned out. I just now have to find a suitable shawl or wrap pattern to show it off to its best advantage. 

Thanks again, and I will certainly be ordering from you in the future. Perhaps when things are back to normal and actual yarn events are once again taking place I might be able to order in person.

Look after yourselves, and all best wishes for the future.

Marion

Coastal Colours made this video for the Yorkshire Yarn Festival, Virtual Yarn Show on Saturday 20th June 2020 the weather was good enough for us to set up our usual layout that you may have seen at some of the yarn shows that have taken place in the UK over the last 10 years. all of of our yarns and fibres are hand dyed and whilst you may not find the same skein on our website, there will be something there in similar colour combinations. we use Gay Wool Dyes which in the UK are available from The Threshing Barn it was great to see all of the other live videos made during the day by all of the other amazing dyers and makers. They are all available to wathc on the yorkshireyarnfestival Instagram page
